Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Frozen mice and parasites
My snake recently got a intestinal parasite and I feed her frozen mice. I get mine in bulks and I was wondering if I should throw away all the mice or not. Also should I not get them in bulks and maybe they just went bad?

First, unless you can do so yourself, you need to have a vet run a fecal check to see if your snake does, indeed, have a parasite. The symptoms, in your other post, could be due to parasite/s or it could be due to something else.
As far as your frozen mice go, freezing kills most parasites/pathogens. Does not kill all but does most.
Unless you have good reason to think that your batch of frozen mice is carrying something, and if they do not smell of rot (when thawed), I wouldn't throw them out.
Buying in bulk is fine. I do as do many others. They can last from a few months on up to one year + (depending on how they are stored, how often they receive oxygen from pulling some rodents out to thaw, etc.).

I also think the two events are unrelated. WC animals as a rule will have parasites, often multiple kinds and CB will sometimes have them but most CB do test negative for me thus far. I have never seen an animal come into my collection test clean 2-3 times then go on to test positive when fed f/t rodents which makes me think such a thing would be extraordinarily rare.
